Micro MUD - Multi User Dungeon
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

If you've wanted to play the multi user game MUD but didn't have a modem then here is your chance. The game plays like the original except instead of human players the computer creates and plays as the humans. The aim of the game is to become a wizard by scoring 102400 points. This is done by killing other players, performing minor tasks or collecting treasure. To save your treasure you must put it in the swamp. 

There are over 400 locations with a database of 100 characters but only 10 play at a time. Watch out though, there are 112 baddies out there to make things harder. With only 250 treasures to locate and collect by 10 players, the treasure soon goes so the game resets. Any treasure you do not have in the swamp is lost forever. 

The game is played in the style of a text-adventure with no graphics. Putting in commands directs your character who can interact with the other players. The game is played in real-time as you watch characters come and go in one location.

MUD was a popular multi-user online game, one of the pioneers in the field. Enjoyed and loved by many, it still survives today through sites like http://ireland.iol.ie/~ecarroll/mud/. This C64 version of the game is an attempt to create the illusion of playing online, without actually being online. As such, it involves real time playing (like Infocom's Borderzone) and many NPC's which are trying to immitate real online players' behavior. This game is not only rare...it's ultra-rare: It appeared on the shelves for a very short time, and, what's more, NO version was made for any other computer besides the C64!!! No wonder you won't find a walkthrough for it anywhere, so, be our guest, and try to solve it! Note: Use 'normal' loader on CCS64, or the game will crash while loading the main part.
